Symptoms, remedies, treatments and care for Insomnia

Insomnia

Insomnia, also known as sleeplessness, is a sleep disorder where people have trouble sleeping. They may have difficulty falling asleep, or staying asleep as long as desired. Insomnia is typically followed by daytime sleepiness, low energy, irritability, and a depressed mood. Insomnia can be caused by physical and psychological factors. There is sometimes an underlying medical condition that causes chronic insomnia, while transient insomnia may be due to a recent event or occurrence.

Insomnia can affect people of any age; it is more common in adult females than adult males. It has also been associated with a higher risk of developing chronic diseases.
